Carlos Carrasco went five innings and gave up just a pair of runs, but the Mets lost to the Cubs this evening at Citi Field by a 3-2 score.
It was the Mets who jumped out to an early lead, as Pete Alonso hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the first. Having hit the wall in center field just above the orange line, the play was initially ruled a double on the field, but a video review showed that it was, indeed, a home run.
Unfortunately, the Mets’ scoring ended there, and the Cubs chipped away until they took the lead.
